Linux - The choice of habitat.

What good Linux is the opportunity for a full setup. A graphical environment also has had this property. Because, unlike Windows, window managers are not built, their exists quite a number. And absolutely for every taste - you can put something bulky, but with fantastic special effects (Vista rest), and something very light, small and quick. In fact, all systems, "Rice windows" can be divided into two groups: graphic environment and image managers. In this article I will try to describe and compare (to the best of my modest capabilities) them. It should remember that there are very subjective judgement, and that one person is a major drawback, for another - dignity. Besides not forget that when choosing a major role played by personal preferences (for example, someone just did not like the topic accessible design windows).

They both support the myriad functions, which, with the possibility of adding what is missing (if you need more than just a set text). This article will cover the first couple of the editors. Worth mentioning that both have huge army of fans and frequently erupted holivary about the best of them. Vim means Vi Improved, improved vi. Vim developed from 1988 - the first year, so it is understandable why this is such a monster (though Emacs will pomonstruoznee). In addition, there are versions for various operating systems - such as Linux, Win16, Win32, DOS, various Unix, BeOS and many others. In addition, Vim uses many users quite unusual approach to editing the text: there are two modes - command (as is clear from the title, then used different commands) and Paste (directly enter text). So the first step is to ...
